Redgum spirals

A small Redgum with spirals and some quilting for a swap. I have chosen a shape that should survive the shipping as it may end up in North America. Its 125mm x 75mm oiled with DO. This brings up the imperfections for final finishing. Its not due till December and the oil needs to be very dry to prevent major clogging during the final sanding

That is amazing. :2tsup:

Not being a turner of any note, how do you put the spirals on it?

George

Mark out and carve by hand

Hughie,

That’s a really wonderful piece, love the colour love the proportions.
It’s bang on.

Cheers Matt.

Another nice piece Hughie, that piece of timber would have produced a few challenges?

Yes it did and it got a couple to go, the final detailing has yet to occur.
